About Me

Started to really pay attention to film ( movies ) what was going on in front of the camera, but more interestingly, behind it as well at about as far back as age 10. Motion pictures ( when good ) are a fascinating medium. All the work and prep that goes into filmmaking. It's an amazing process !

Movie news you might not be aware of and assorted motion picture info...

My goal is to bring information that isn't widely known or spoken about yet at the water cooler concerning movies. I try to be original and attempt at coming up with my own information before I may venture to see what everybody else is buzzing about on other movie sites. I'm not a hack who doesn't know what he's talking about. I truly believe there are people out there that don't need a film studies degree from University or film school to be knowledgable about film, as I have actually studied film as a hobby for over 30 years. I paid keen attention to detail, not even fully realizing I was at a young age. Not just what the movie is about or who is starring in it, but what really makes a movie work and that is the behind the scenes people; the director, screenwriting, the cinematography, the production design and editing. All of those have interested me since I was not even yet a teen. So that's what this site is about, just someone who has always loved film more years than I have been alive than not.
